Health plans oppose central power in Blue Cross bill
Montpelier NH Vermont health officials debate a proposal by Banking and Insurance Commissioner James A. Guest to grant broad regulatory authority over Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Oliver Fifield, president of the plans, calls the plan unnecessary and says it would interfere with insurer operations. He notes Blue Cross will present its own plan next year while Guest would still regulate rates but not have expanded powers. The bill would let Blue Cross Blue Shield merge and require two thirds of directors to be elected by subscribers, a shift from the current practice of board-selected members. Fifield says public directors already exceed half and insurers are curbing hospital costs.
